Cage The Elephant - Lotus

[00:07.73] Woke before the morning sun [00:09.03] I found it tucked beneath the hills [00:11.18] I sat and watched it rise [00:12.85] It hit the sky and burst to flames [00:14.95] The lotus flower's [00:16.17] Got me thinkin' 'bout the way that we live [00:18.72] I've got this feelin' [00:20.71] It's gonna stop [00:22.51] Driven by religion [00:23.64] Running backwards down a one way road [00:26.06] A course collision, split decision [00:28.12] Tryin' to save your soul [00:29.72] Manifest Destiny [00:31.03] Is just a fancy word for murder [00:33.51] I've got this feelin' [00:35.57] It's gonna stop [00:37.12] A billion faces runnin' round my head [00:41.23] All got opinions but they don't mean shit [00:44.83] Keep droppin' bombs until the whole world's dead [00:47.88] They said it's all been done and it's all been said [00:52.25] They'll turn this message into a pop movement [00:56.79] A fashion statement, call it politics [01:00.64] You can mark my words, they'll put a spin on it [01:03.69] They say it's all been done [01:08.08] Look outside the box my friend [01:09.58] Your heart's been dead since who knows when [01:11.98] It seems we've missed the mark [01:13.60] Lost all hope and given in [01:15.83] Pack up the suitcase [01:16.88] Take that handkerchief and wipe off your chin [01:19.26] The fear that drives you [01:21.26] Needs to be stopped [01:24.36] [01:54.71] Fell into a daze [01:55.64] And found my mind was gone and laid to waste [01:57.82] A battleground indeed [01:59.27] Where holy wars have taken place [02:01.51] I saw the sunset watched it travel down [02:04.15] And tear through the ground [02:05.68] The hate that drives us [02:07.13] Needs to be stopped [02:08.27]
